Conserving water saves money

"Conserving water is also vital to our communities and saves money. Flow restrictors on showerheads and faucets, while not very glamorous changes, are cheap and reduce water consumption dramatically. Newer dishwashers, low-flush or dual-flush toilets (offering half-flush and whole flush options), and front-loading washing machines save multiple gallons. On demand water heaters can also save water and energy. Family health concerns are another reason to go green. Indoor environments frequently exude toxic chemicals found in many modern building materials. Even small projects like painting or replacing carpet or furniture are opportunities to make less toxic choices and to protect children who like to taste-test their surroundings."
